  1. I have the issues from 1957 through 1972. I can attest to the fact that these years are all well worth reading. Great articles and the record reviews are so interesting.
  2. He was a one trick pony. It worked really well for a while... and then it was over.
  3. Loved Watkins output on Blue Note is outstanding. Excellent underrated stuff. Regarding his Dawn recordings. I think "Jazzville Vol. 1" is really great. The Watkins side is very good, but the Quill-Sherman side is even better.
  4. Sam Rivers on Blue Note is a real treat. I think "Fuchsia Swing Song" and "Contours" are outstanding. In particular, I really dig "Euterpe" from Contours and "Cyclic Episode" from Fuchsia. And it doesn't hurt that the art on both jackets are among the best on the Blue Note label.

    Frank Zappa

    The 5 songs I would recommend... WPLJ Dog Breath In The Year Of The Plague Mystery Roach San Ber'dino The Gumbo Variations
  6. I thought I was in the minority not caring for the Trio 64 lp, but I guess not. On the other hand I really thought Trio 65 was great!
  7. That's very cool. I'll have to go thru my 1960s Downbeats and check it out. Say, you live in Highland Park? I'm a neighbor from down south in Wilmette. By any chance did you know Jim Neumann?
  8. Her lp on Prestige is outstanding. All top notch performances, but her version of Why Try To Change Me Now is the best rendition I've ever heard. Nice to see the discography (above), but I wish she would have recorded a few more lps for Prestige.
  9. Just saw your post from 2020 and wanted to wholeheartedly agree! The Fox is an amazing album with mystery man Dupree Bolton, Elmo Hope & Harold Land cooking well, and yes, Frank Butler is really impressive on this disc. And the Elmo Hope Trio lp on Contemporary? I think it's best piano trio lp of all time. And tonight I'm listening to Smokin At The Half Note by Wes.
  10. A very moody, serene and underrated ECM guitar lp "Wintereisse" by Hajo Weber & Ulrich Ingenbold never made it to cd.
  11. I found Argo, ECM and Blue Note to have excellent pressings. Dot also had decent pressings. I also feel imports from Japan & Germany were excellent as well.
  12. David, just listened to it and thought it was great. 1964 and 1965 were great years for jazz. With the avant garde gaining steam and jazz finally making peace with rock, plus some interesting bossa nova, there was lots going on. Verve had a nice 1964 with some cool stuff by Burrell, Tjader, Getz and Gil Evans. Thanks for the show.
  13. Mike, That's a great new cd. I love The In Sound and the Soft Samba cd. McFarland was the epitome of cool. He was a great arranger and I even like some of his non jazz stuff like "Wendy & Bonnie". It's great to revive and old thread when it's about someone who really needs to be remembered.
